Card Edge Adapter Connectors have been specifically engineered to enable the direct mating of a card edge board with another card edge board or with a socket connector on a cable. These adapters come in two main types: card slot to card slot and card slot to male pin header. The card slot to card slot adapter type allows for the direct connection between two card edge boards, eliminating the need for additional connectors or cables. This streamlined design facilitates a more efficient and compact interconnection solution. On the other hand, the card slot to male pin header adapter enables the connection between a card edge board and a male pin header on a cable assembly. This configuration provides flexibility by allowing the card edge board to be connected to external devices or systems using a cable connection. Card Edge Adapter Connectors are available in two mounting types: free-hanging and panel mount. The free-hanging option allows for a flexible connection where the adapter is not fixed to a specific location. The panel mount option, on the other hand, provides a secure and stable connection by mounting the adapter on a panel or enclosure. The number of contact positions offered by these connectors varies from 8 (4 dual) to 120, providing a wide range of options to accommodate different system requirements. This flexibility allows for the connection of various card edge boards with different pin configurations and sizes. In summary, Card Edge Adapter Connectors offer a convenient and versatile solution for directly mating card edge boards or connecting them to male pin headers via cables. With options for card slot to card slot or card slot to male pin header connections, along with free-hanging or panel mount configurations and a wide range of contact positions, these adapters provide flexible and reliable interconnectivity solutions for a variety of applications.
